Prosthodontics & Occlusion · single question

A surgical implant guide (stent) communicates all of the following to the surgeon EXCEPT:

  1. The final osseointegration outcome of the implant
  2. The ideal angulation of the implant
  3. The intended position/number of implants
  4. The planned size/diameter relationship to restoration
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: A. The final osseointegration outcome of the implant

A surgical guide conveys planned position, angulation, and number/size based on the restorative plan; it cannot predict the biological osseointegration outcome, which depends on healing.Other options: Angulation, position/number, and size guidance are exactly what a surgical stent provides.Key exam takeaway: Surgical guides direct position, angulation, and number/size; they cannot guarantee osseointegration.
